Default Joined the Road Glide 'hood!

It started as a simple stop by the dealer to pick up some windshield cleaner and maybe a new pair of gloves. Turned into a conversation about this great looking '08 Road Glide standing in the corner. Sure, I'll swing a leg over, but I'm really not even looking at bikes.... then out came the pencils and calculators and all of a sudden I'm having this conversation on the cellphone with my forgiving and generous wife. "If you like it - get it!". I liked it.... so I got it!

More to come....

Great looking bike. I've had my road glide longer than any of the other Harley's I've owned. Just can't make myself trade it in (even for a new one). Can't stand the thought of starting all over again.
